Sat in the middle of the Balkan peninsula, Bosnia and Herzegovina is a south east European middle income country and a potential candidate for European Union (EU) membership.

The nation has undergone an intense period of reconstruction, social integration and state building since the Dayton Peace Agreement ended the war there in 1995.

There are around 120 UK companies operating from Bosnia and Herzegovina, mostly through local agents, including leading UK companies such s GlaxoSmithKline, Unilever, Imperial Tobacco, Lush, Bureau Veritas, Roughton International and JCB.

You may not know this (apologies if you do) but Algeria is the biggest country by area in Africa – measuring 919,995 square miles – and has a population of 38 million people, an estimated 70% of which are aged under 30.

The country is the UK’s fourth largest market in Africa and in 2013 UK export trade was worth £529 million, making it second only to Egypt in north Africa – a country it could overtake if the Egyptian unrest continues.

So it’s well worth doing business there if you’re looking into Africa, and the UK’s main exports to Algeria include:

  • transport equipment (£88 million)
  • specialised machinery (£73 million)
  • road vehicles (£48 million)
  • power machinery (£43 million)
  • iron and teel (£42 million)
  • chemicals (£42 million)

If you’re thinking of joining them you’ll need a reliable and cost-effective  international conference call provider.

And since the advent of smartphones, the things have become an extension of ourselves, a Swiss Army-style tech tool for all occasions.

Here’s the twist though, you’ve no idea how to use the thing properly…
